When the 6-year-old daughter of Kasandra Pool said she wanted to give her birthday to all the children who died at the school massacre in Connecticut, it moved her mother so much that the whole community is getting involved.

"You always want to shield your children from such horrible events, but it was everywhere on Friday," Pool said. "Rebeckah's seventh birthday is on Friday and when she heard about the tragedy last week, she told me she didn't want to celebrate her birthday - she wanted to donate her birthday to all the children who died."
